Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

Back in time too, so if you're currently 40, you're heading back to 2005.

Definitely back in time. I'd be just losing my father, so that would be hard. I'd be right about to meet my wife, too, so that would be interesting. It would also be before the iPhone came out, so I could take the small amount my father left me and invest it in AAPL. I don't know if I could make a million dollars, probably could, but I could make better choices.

Sports betting (Back to the Future II explored this) would be tempting, but you really don't want to get into business with bookies. Rather invest in Apple and Bitcoin from back then.
